My guest today is Cindy Witteman, from San Antonio, Texas. She’s a former single mom of three girls who has created a non-profit called Driving Single Parents, Inc. She finds and donates a car, with the license, tax, and title paid, to a needy single parent. Single parents often find it difficult to secure resources and support, but Cindy’s inspiring story shows what can happen with a heart to give back and help others. Join me for Cindy’s story!

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • How the non-profit grew from her personal experience with single parenthood and the need for transportation
  • How Cindy finds and chooses the single parents
  • The qualifications for recipients: A valid Texas driver’s license, car insurance, and a single parent
  • How Cindy hopes to expand the program and gain more funding
  • The first recipient, John, who lost his wife and his leg in an accident
  • Why single parents often feel alone and without help
  • How this program can be duplicated in other communities
  • Cindy’s first idea of providing child care for single parents, and why that didn’t work
  • How the idea of providing vehicles came about
  • The situation when walking, biking, and public transportation are simply NOT options
  • How to make donations to help
  • Being a single parent: when people stop answering your phone calls
